More Sundance Square Gospel
Monday, April 21st, 2008But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”–that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,

This is Jason. I met him just outside the West End proper. He was sitting on a bus stop bench with nowhere to go. Jason will perish without God’s mercy and grace on his soul. There are many like Jason in this area, just hanging out, doing nothing, waiting for tomorrow to bring another day. He has no job, and nothing to do is not what our Lord wants of anyone.
1Th 4:11
“…and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you…” See, this is just one verse of many concerning work. Jason needs Christ first and His righteousness. Jason needs to have the miricle of sight and hearing to understand the Word of God. Without the Holy Spirit’s working in the heart of Jason, he will perish. I pray that like me, God will cause Jason to hear again, and see again and do mighty works in the Lord.
Gal 1:4
“…who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father…”
This is Tim and Clay. I met them in the West End of Dallas on Friday night. They were taking photos of the area for a project of some kind. These guys are special. I handed them a tract and they knew what it was right away (maybe because I told them). They quickly informed me that they were Christians and attended a church in Hurst, Texas. I asked them if they could explain the Gospel to me. They were up to the task. I liked what they said, maybe stumbling a bit but, in the end I think that the virtual Uncle Joe in the scenario I gave them might have understood their explaination of the Gospel. The Uncle Joe of my scenario was a man dying with 10 minutes to live. I asked them what would they say to him? Tim and Clay tried their best, I liked that. They were never rude or impolite to me. They must have good parents that reared them in the Word.
All I asked of them is that they include the Law of God within the Gospel next time. If a Christian is to proclaim the true Gospel, it must include the Law; the 10 Commandments. Those perfect commandments show us our true hatred against a Holy God, and why God must punish us as sinners and send us to a place He made for the devil and his angels; hell, the lake of fire.
Although the Law will not save, it will show us the why the Cross and Christ’s sufferings had to take place. We are all transgressors of His Law and He must punish us with His pure and Holy wrath. But God will save us from Himself, to bring us to Himself. He is the only Savior. Praise God for His Law and His Cross.
Thanks Tim and thanks Clay for your attention for the cause of Christ our Lord.
Jhn 19:17
“They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.”
Yes, hello. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. It has been a very busy week. The story I told your Mother took place about 6 years ago. I was with a group in Orlando, Florida, witnessing. Our group paired up and then we dispersed. We returned later that evening to share within our group whatever had happened that day. One man in our group was at a park when a man approached him and asked if he had been there the day before witnessing. He said, “no”, and asked why. The man said, “Well, yesterday someone came into the restroom here and began talking to another man. I happened to be in one of the stalls in the back. I was listening to the conversation. I heard the man share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I believed in Him. The man never knew I was even in the room. So I came back today to see if I could find him, because I just had to tell someone what happened.”
Pretty encouraging. You never know who will hear and who will believe. We may never even see the fruit until we gather together on that great day on Heaven’s shores. Press on brother!

Hey, I’m hoping my friends from Seattle post a comment. Are you out there? I was glad to meet you.
Gary the gate keeper, at Blue Ox, where are you today? Have faith and repent, Christ will rescue you.
To my other friend on “The Road to Emmaus.” This thing you are involved in will be your road to the Lake of Fire. You will perish there. You will perish because of your sins. You said you would never repent. The repentance you say you will have will do nothing but point you in the direction heading straight to hell. Please read the book of John before too long. Think about it, God is merciful.
Jhn 3:19
“This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
Just for your curiosity, there are too many pictures to put on the blog without filling it up. Again, this is here for those that have a bad perception of street evangelism. Maybe you would see that no one here has gotten beat up, died, or even arrested. I would hope that those who have no desire to obey Christ who died for the masses to at least have a willingness to try baby steps. Try passing out a tract, I guarantee you will live through it. People love to engage the brain, even if to hear themselves talk.
d, being a good person, and other issues from a sinner’s mind.
Jhn 12:25
“He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.”
Take a look at those ankles, wew! Good thing the Gospel has no preference for dress. This is Jon doing the thing he loves best, handing out tracts and talking to people about the Lord. Jon is somewhere close to where I am in this picture, but nowhere close to giving the same person a tract. We could have been 5 feet apart and never
approach the same person. I’ve never seen so many people in one place in my life.
Psa 24:1
‘The earth is the LORD’S, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it.
‘
This weekend went as fast as the Samsung races. A gazillion people to witness to, and a handful of people trying to talk to as many people as possible. Jon, Tim, Jimmy, Chad and I were up to the task, and my son, Caleb, was right there by my side. Praise God for His many blessings. He chooses fallible people for His perfect task, evangelism on the front lines.
This man wearing the goat refused a track. I had to talk him into taking one. He told me “do I look like I need God?’ I told him that Judas had to point out who Jesus was with a kiss. The officials could not even identify who Jesus Christ was that night in the garden!
Pray for Scott and Rohnda.
Scott and Rohnda, I know the Lord will bless you in this mini-trial. I also know that you will be even more blessed when you know that you are attending a God-centered church, not a man-centered church.
Scott and Rohnda attend a Church of Christ church and know the heresy that is preached there. They will act on their knowedge and leave the church at the right time. Scott is a Deacon of the church and has many good friends there. Rohnda is a teacher who loves her students. She is building up courage with her husband to talk to the Elders on why they must leave the church.
Godspeed!!!!
